New Delhi, Delhi, India, Tuesday, November 30, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- SOLARPLAZA, one of the leading international event organizers in the renewable energy space has now extended its footprint to India. After 6 years of successful existence and over 25 events in other markets, the firm will kick-off its India footprint through The Solar Future: India 2011, which will be held over two days at The Grand, New Delhi on January 24th and 25th 2011.

"The Solar Future" PV conferences worldwide have been known for their large scale presentation besides delivering significantly high value for the local solar/PV industry. The Delhi edition of this world-class, two day international conference is expected to not only attract high profile speakers from across the world, but also attract delegations who will visit India to understand the market, the potential and opportunities here.

According to Edwin Koot, CEO, SOLARPLAZA, "Endowed with abundant sunlight 300 days in a year, having the cost advantage in the production of solar cells & modules and the impetus provided by the rolling out of Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission by the central government and followed upon by many state governments, India today has a huge opportunity to become a Solar Super Power. The need of the hour is then for the world to know firsthand of the opportunities here and for Indian companies to learn the best practices of other markets. This is something that SOLARPLAZA is positioned to do well and "The Solar Future: India" is the first step in that direction. We look forward to the successful conduct of this Delhi edition and there are more planned or on the anvil for the Indian market."

-The JNNSM (Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission) and related solar PV targets, incentives, perspectives of international market and industry trends
